Okay that was one weird title. But that is exactly what I did. Some days back I need to destress after a Pharmacology test,; one that deserves no mention, not on my blog, not in my life.
So I sat and watched 4 movies all with a mushy romantic theme. It was one of those times when I have so much I don't want to think about anything and just get lost in a different world. So I chose to get lost in a world of romance.
(I can almost see my sister's unique rolling eyes at me expression when she reads this, especially the above paragraph. Ayesha dear, just don't vomit with all the mush here. :P )
I started with A Walk to Remember. The movie is beautiful beyond words. Obviously after this movie every girl wishes for a Carter like miracle in her life. The most beautiful thoughts from this movie were
"Love is like the wind. You cannot see it but you can feel it."
Next was Trance. It left me in a trance. Loved the genius behind the storyline. Yes, the hero was drool worthy too but first things first. There were some deep thoughts in the movie.
It hurts when love cheats or betrays and it hurts when love is suspicious. But it is fatal when love becomes an obsession.
Also One never stops loving someone. Either they never did or they always will. Nothing in the word can make you forget your true love.

After two Hollywood movies, it was time to shift to Bollywood. Next in line was Lootera.

“Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited. It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people’s sins, but delights in the truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes.”

It is a poetic movie as one of my friends described it. There was lot in the female lead that I liked. She trusts easily, loves unconditionally, is passionate about writing, likes winter wonderland and can never let go of her one true love.
There was one scene which I loved.
The male lead realises how the female lead is way out of his league. He decides to distance himself from her by getting involved in the work at hand and end their courtship for good. The female lead, disturbed by the sudden distance between them, goes up to him and questions why he was doing this.
He answers as best he can ending it with "Behtar hoga aap chali jayein" (It will be better if you leave this place.)
She replies in a calm composed way, "Behtar hoga aap mar jayein" (It will be better if you leave this world.)
The pain of unrequited love, the anger of disappointment and all the emotions of the moment beautifully summarised in two lines.
The movie had many currents running through One that struck me was No matter how deeply a loved one hurts us, love finds the power and the strength to forgive and trust once again.
Also the movie reiterates One never really forgets their true love. Either they never did or they always will.

Lastly I watched Raanjhana. I had heard rave reviews and so much about the movie that my expectations were risen many-fold.
Note to self: Never expect. You are bound to get disappointed.
Note to self: Never expect. You are bound to get disappointed.
People had said it had awesome acting and an interesting storyline. I searched for the interesting story all throughout the movie but in vain. Probably the movie was very similar to life. A bag of mixed emotions and deadly confusions.
There are may other things I can say about it but I may be labelled for giving the movie so many labels.
So let's end it here.
Once again the moral of the story was One never really gets over their true love. Either they never did or they always will.
Yeah that's all I learnt from the Mushy Movie Marathon. I was looking for a way to de-stress but watching the Bollywood movies in the end was the wrong step. It should have been the other way round. Bollywood followed by Hollywood or at least better Bollywood choices.
For now, that is pretty much from my side. My books await my return but sleep looks more inviting.
Sleep it is.
